Installing An Old Wig In 2022: How To Make Your Side Part Look Natural

Hey brad, hey, i'm back and i'm doing my hair. So, okay, let's go! I already have my cap on duh, but i'm starting off with my first layer of glue just putting it like on half of my head and then i like to use a popsicle. Stick to even that layer out and if you watched my sleek part down the video part down video part down the middle video, then i told you in that video i used too much glue when i was taking pictures of myself. That night, like i, was sweating outside and the glue was literally seeping white through my lace. So now you see how i'm like scraping off the excess. That'S what i do just to make sure that this layer of glue is not too thick, but i'm still getting enough on, so that the lace can have something to stick to. We already know the part above your ears on the lace. They call it the ear tabs. That part always want to give you a hard time. So if you neglect putting glue in this area, that's even harder for the lace to lay down so always put the glue right above your ear and drag it down a little bit on your sideburns. Depending on how you cut your lace and how far your lace goes down so next, i hot comb, the entire hairline of the wig back to keep the little scars, hair and baby hair out of my way when i finally apply it, and when i went to Apply it i just put the wig on, and i made sure that it was even on both sides, and then i started off in the middle, placing the middle exactly where the glue started on my hairline and then i just held it there for a second. I like to lightly press it in with my fingers and with a rat tail comb, just to make sure that the lace is melting in the glue and then i move on to doing the same thing to the sides. When i'm tacking down the sides. I still go section by section: i don't just do the whole side together. I still break it apart in like two separate sections, just to make sure that the wig is going to be applied as flat as possible, with no ripples down as i'm adjusting the other side of the lace. You'Ll see me hold on to the other lace, occasionally just to make sure that the lace doesn't go flying while i'm trying to tack down the other side. Next, i tied down the band and i adjusted the tabs and the band where i needed it to be before i blow-dried the hairline on the heat setting for about like 10-15 minutes by the way after i put makeup on my lace on my very first install, I don't usually put makeup on the lace every single time. I install the wig because i feel like after you put makeup on at one time. It'S pretty much tinted and you don't have to keep like caking it up with makeup and because this is a hd lace from my collection, it's already very thin. So you definitely do not have to like pack on the makeup to try to make it blend. With your skin tone at all, look look. Look at the ear tab, look at it on both sides too. So what i had to do was just go back and add some extra glue to these areas of the lace. I probably did like two layers additional just to make sure that it will really stay tacked down, and i did that along the entire hairline anywhere, where i saw that the lace was not laying down next. I hot comb, the hairline going back and i took some spritz and i sprayed it on my popsicle stick and i ran the popsicle stick along my hairline, just to make sure that i wasn't getting too much spritz on my lace or on my forehead. But i still wanted to make sure that the lace did have some spritz on it, so it could be like even more melted in addition to the layers of glue that i did, i tied it down and i blow-dried it for a couple minutes girl. I thought i was gon na have to cut this band in half. I don't know why i did it so tight, but it would not come off, but when i finally got it off, this is what the lace was looking like, so yeah. I definitely highly recommend that you spray, like spritz on top of your wig after you melt it with glue and you'll, like look even more melty, it'll, probably last longer too next, i wanted a side part, so i just started parting out the side part and instead Of doing like one straight line, i did it like a c part, so you kind of have to shape the part curved and, as i was getting a part to the shape that i wanted it, i would use my hot comb just to make sure that i Was flattening out that ridge flattening out that bump at the top of my head, because the last hairstyle i had with this wig was a part in the middle, so the hair is not used to going up to the side like that. So, of course, it's going to look more puffy than usual, but using a hot comb will get that very flat, and i also have a video where i show you guys how to get the top of your wig really flat and i'll link that up here. So you guys can watch that too. Okay, so, as you saw, i sprayed some of the fantasia spritz and then i sprayed some of the heat protectant spray on the top of my head before i started hot combing it to get it as flat as i wanted to be, and next i'm just parting Through the side part part through the hair, that's going to be like on this side of the part to get it even more flat in areas where it was still too puffy. Now, moving on to my baby hair, i have a new and updated baby hair tutorial where i actually cut and style the baby hair on this exact wig. This is why the baby hair on this wig is already cut well. Most of it is already cut. So now i'm just taking out the hair that i want to use this baby here and sideburns and i'm going to mold them down. I'M not going to say too much about that in this video because, like i said i just uploaded a brand new baby hair tutorial that i'll link up here, you should go watch it do so after i was done with the baby hair, i flat ironed. Most of my hair off camera, and then all that was left to do was really just to tidy up the top and with that i'll use, this bed head spray i'll spray it at the top of my head and then i'll comb it in place and blow Dry, it just so that it could be really really flat. I just sprayed some spritz in the palm of my hands and then i just rubbed it like on the top of my hair to control flyaways, i'm not using a lot just a little bit. Just you know, keep the hair in control, and that was it. This wig is from my collection, but it didn't come jet black. I had to do that myself and i'll link the video where i did that up here, but after i did my makeup, i just flat ironed the top of my head one more time, and that was it. That'S all it took look down here, there's a code. If you want to shop my collection and you'll save 10 at checkout, this makeup tutorial is actually coming next, so be on the lookout for that. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and if you did don't forget to give me a thumbs up, but thanks for watching bye, you
